Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has delivered an update on Lisandro Martinez's injury after the defender limped off against West Ham United.

Martinez was part of the United team that demolished West Ham 3-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday.

According to SPORTbible, Martinez appeared to have injured his knee, with the setback coming only in his fourth game since his comeback from a devastating foot injury.

Ten Hag's update on Martinez's injury

Ten Hag reflected on the defender's injury in his post-match interview, with the Dutchman describing it as 'bad.'

"It seems bad. We have to wait, make the right diagnosis in the coming days and then we will see. Hopefully it is not too bad, we can only pray," he told BBC.

"He worked so hard to return and now after two games it looks like he has to sit some games out again," he added.

Meanwhile, Martinez's injury notwithstanding, United were able to salvage a crucial win against the Hammers to increase their chances of finishing in the top four.

A goal from Ramsus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho's brace was all the Red Devils needed to see off David Moyes' men.

This was the first time United have won three successive games since October following their previous disappointing run.
